    The fourth book is a female-centric career novel. It can be said to provide insight into the development of an industry at that time. It's the kind of satisfying story that doesn't focus on the struggles of low-level workers, but rather on the struggles of geniuses using modern methods. The female lead in the first book has the kind of personality I like: cautious, intelligent but not a saint, vengeful, and decisive. She even handled the details of selling large quantities of goods perfectly. I'm looking forward to a sweet romance. The second book features delicate handling of emotions and a well-developed female protagonist. ... You can check out the rest yourself. For now, they all seem to be lighthearted stories with no tragic heroines or angst. What I love about historical fiction is that the relationships of that era are so hopeful and beautiful. Whether it's love at first sight stemming from responsibility, the quiet companionship of life together, or the intimate romance of deep connection, the conviction to be together forever, the blushing and nervousness when holding hands...

    ① The female protagonist transmigrates. The original owner was a late-life daughter, pampered by her parents and brothers. She was about the same age as her nieces and nephews. The original owner was a difficult person, and the female protagonist is similar. She doesn't suffer any losses; she finds a job through her family. The male protagonist is into metaphysics. ② The female protagonist dreams of her past life and knows what will happen to her later. She immediately tells the male protagonist she's pregnant and wants to get married. Although the male protagonist is initially confused (it's only been three days), he quickly goes home to prepare for the marriage proposal. After the marriage, they run a braised meat business together. ③ The female protagonist, a transmigrator, is the type who quietly accomplishes great things. She was always exploited at home, but she planned to leave early. She frequently obtained her household registration book using the flawed fabric incident and even secured her graduation certificate ahead of time. Later, for safety and to escape, she directly changed jobs and ran away to a distant place.
